Andre's Doctors Appt.

On January 21, 2008 Andre and I headed back to the Doctor's Office. Not to any surprise Dr. Gregory Hanker did not release Andre to go back to work. Instead he told Andre that he was going to give him a shot to see if it was nerve or muscle damage that was causing all the pain. The easy way to diagnosis this would be to give him a shot of some numbing medicine in his (L) thumb. Now when the NP. walked into the room with a syringe the size of my forearm I almost passed out... Andre looked like he was about to do the same. He just turned white...(Luckily he and I did not pass out) I just laughed and told Andre if he wasn't nice to me I'd have Dr. Hanker numb his balls...hahaha... Come to find out the damage after the Doctor numbed Andre's Thumb. It was the NERVE... Now, there is only two things that could fix Andre's hand and the chance of it working is 80%/20% that it will work. So, Dr. G. Hanker wants to take out Andre's Nerve out of his THUMB. Did I mention to you all that Andre is a ART DIRECTOR... HE IS ALSO LEFT HANDED DOMINATE... I did not want to cry in front of Andre and I did not want to forget all the questions I had for the Doctor either. But, I just went numb inside. My insides where bursting with tears. I WAS SCREAMING INSIDE...This could be his 3rd. hand surgery. It was really not what I was expecting from the Doctor. So, Andre and I are discussing the possibilities of what could happen and where this puts us in the future for both our careers. So, to all of you who read this PLEASE PRAY FOR US....

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear this. That has to be so hard. I can't imagine what kind of stress this puts you bith under. Sean has issues with his shoulder and might possibly need surgery. That would put him out for about 6 - 8 weeks. We were stressing about THAT amount of time. That doesnt even compare to you guys. I'm so sorry.

Thank you for your address. Whats your email?

Hey! I'm pretty sure the shower is going to be March 14th. It's a Saturday! We are just trying to figure a good spot to have it. There might be over 50 people there so we need to find a large space. But I'm pretty sure it's going to be the 14th!
